Public bug reported:
Not sure what might have triggered this, but since a few days ago, I am
unable to launch VirtualBox from Ubuntu 16.10.
This is what I see on the CLI when installing via apt-get:
● virtualbox.service - LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/virtualbox; generated; vendor preset: enabled)

I tried to downlad the .deb package from the VBOX website, resulting in the
same issue...
